There are six basic functions of IT.
1. Capture: Compiling detailed records of activities.
2. Processing: Converting, analyzing, computing and synthesizing all forms of data and information.
3. Generation: Organizing information into a useful form.
4. Storage: Retaining information for further use.
5. Retrieval: Locating and copying stored data or information for further processing or for transmission to another user.
6. Transmission: Distributing information over a communication network.
Answer:
The OSI Model (Open Systems Interconnection Model) is a conceptual framework used to describe the functions of a networking system. The OSI model characterizes computing functions into a universal set of rules and requirements in order to support interoperability between different products and software.
Answer:
def sum_1k(M):
s = 0
for k in range(1, M+1):
s = s + 1.0/k
return s
def test_sum_1k():
expected_value = 1.0+1.0/2+1.0/3
computed_value = sum_1k(3)
if expected_value == computed_value:
print("Test is successful")
else:
print("Test is NOT successful")
test_sum_1k()
Explanation:
It seems the hidden part is a summation (sigma) notation that goes from 1 to M with 1/k.
- Inside the <em>sum_1k(M)</em>, iterate from 1 to M and calculate-return the sum of the expression.
- Inside the <em>test_sum_1k(),</em> calculate the <em>expected_value,</em> refers to the value that is calculated by hand and <em>computed_value,</em> refers to the value that is the result of the <em>sum_1k(3). </em>Then, compare the values and print the appropriate message
- Call the <em>test_sum_1k()</em> to see the result
